- SKF is taking magnetic bearings, monitoring, oil regeneration and remanufacturing solutions to COP31.
- Data-centre cooling gives the efficiency portfolio a commercial link to rising artificial-intelligence infrastructure demand.
- The planned Vertevo separation remains the next major shareholder milestone.
SKF stock is presenting a broader efficiency portfolio at COP31 as the Swedish bearing maker links lower energy use with industrial reliability and circularity. The programme follows SKF's press release of Thursday, November 5, 2026, which outlined solutions intended to reduce emissions while extending equipment life and limiting material waste. The details are set out in the SKF press release.
Cooling Creates A Commercial Angle
SKF is highlighting magnetic bearings for cooling systems used in data centres. The bearings operate without physical contact, reducing friction and mechanical wear as demand for computing capacity and cooling infrastructure rises.
SKF estimates that chillers equipped with its magnetic bearings and commissioned in 2030 could avoid 3.4 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide-equivalent emissions over their lifetimes. The estimate is based on International Energy Agency scenarios and SKF business projections, making it a company calculation rather than a historical result.
Portfolio Extends Beyond Bearings
The COP31 offering also includes SKF Insight bearings for condition monitoring, RecondOil for keeping industrial oil in use longer, remanufacturing services and SKF Infinium additive manufacturing. Together, the products connect sustainability claims with equipment uptime, resource use and the potential for longer customer asset lives.
SKF said more than 20% of global energy is lost overcoming friction. Chief financial and sustainability officer Susanne Larsson said the opportunity is to scale existing solutions across more customers. SKF is also joining the Energy Efficiency Movement, a global network promoting industrial efficiency.
